If you feel that a few people are very deserving of the people awards then you can send in votes for up to 3 players in each category. Votes for yourself will not be counted. All Luxers are asked to <a href="mailto:lux@sillysoft.net?subject=Luxtoberfest4-votes">email</a> or PM me their votes sometime during Luxtober.

Hope it's not too late but could we sub divide the best forum influence into the seperate sub topics? There were some really fun threads in the "Sillysoft Pub" but how could you compare that to someone in "Lux Talk" who may have started a great discussion about the game itself.

Just asking because of the recent posts regarding how even though a luxer may not have time for a game, they always find a way to check in and participate in the forums.

Just a thought perhaps when a player is "nominated" they could be posted here so people would have a better idea of who is in the running. For instance, last year I did not vote for PSU for rookie of the year because I didn't realize he was eligible.

Packman pisses and moans for not even being an honorable mention for rookie of the year last year

BTW: There's no rush to vote. I'll be giving copious reminders when it comes close to the deadline. October hasn't even started yet, so it's possible there will be some last minute entries. Also, the map retrospective will help remind you of some of the different maps. Ditto for Rookie night reminding you who some of the best rookies are.

I dont think an individual map should be represented in more than 1 category. Besides the best map of all time. I think that it takes away votes from that the invidual map in a single category when deciding. (Example) : River Castles is represented in Fantasy and Geometric Shapes. I dont find this map to be a geometric shape map. But when voting people may not choose to vote 1 map in one category because they voted it in the other and I dont find that fair to our map makers.

I thought it was good that maps were represented in multiple categories - I was annoyed that some maps I wanted to vote for I couldn't, as they shared categories with other great maps. Further down, I found the same maps again in other categories against lesser competition and they got the votes they deserved. It's nigh on impossible to cast a vote for all the great maps that have been released this year otherwise...

I disagree. How would we decide which category a map should go in? It seems to me that most of the geographic maps are also historical... so do we have a huge historical category with small geographic ones?

Now here's a thought; what happens if a map wins more than one category? Should they be awarded both, or just the category they had the largest margin of victory in? I vote for the latter.

Also... suppose there is a map I loved that was both historical and in a geographic region. I think it could have represented the historical aspect better, so I don't vote for it in that category but in the geographic region category instead.

If all the historical maps were put into only the historical category, do I vote for that map anyway because I like the map the best but think it's not as historically interesting as others?
